West Ham footballers drew 0: 0 in Burnley in the 16th round of the English league. Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal played for the guests, and another Czech, Matěj Vydra, took over for the home team.
The “hammers” in the table kept fourth place by a point ahead of Manchester United. Burnley was held several times by goalkeeper Pope, who, for example, neutralized the heads of Diop and Benrahma.
Tomáš Souček got into two promising chances during the match, especially the second in the very end of the setting called for a goal. However, the Czech midfielder sent the ball high above the goal from the border of the penalty area.
Even after Vydra’s arrival in the 60th minute, the home team did not endanger the West Ham goal too much, and in the table they are in 18th place, which means a relegation to the second league. The fourth Czech player, Alex Král, remained on the guests’ bench.
Leicester also beat Newcastle 4-0 with two goals from Tielemans, who remained penultimate and, like Burnley, won only once in the league season. “Foxes” are in eighth position.
